Consistently thereabouts last campaign and showed it had trained on when running second on its first race after a spell. You can see why Lisa has turned to Craig Grylls to get the job done
Main Danger
1 Hoorah Henry
F: 82B(3)W(58.5)
( J-Kelly Myers )
( T-Lisa Latta )
Lisa Latta also runs this 5yo and, given its significant improvement to run second last time, gives her a strong hand in the race

F: 334XB(2)W(56.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Allan Sharrock )
Resumes after close up finishes in its first three runs, before being spelled in February. Will be a lot more mature now and with Sam Collett up, hard to beat
Consider
2 Orson Stone
F: 2B(6)W(58.5)
( J-Jonathan Riddell )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Interested to see Lisa Latta's stable rider riding this win. Down from the north and looks promising

Best "Each Way"
9 Circus Dancer
F: 1B(7)W(55.0)
( J-Samantha Collett )
( T-Cody Cole )
Albeit this one's trial and race day form has been on Heavy tracks, it did win its debut comfortably and improves. Thought it would have been favourite so the EW value is there
Main Danger
8 Abbakiss
Dividend : $2.50, $1.10
Won
F: 6X674B(2)W(55.0)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Bryce Newman )

Longer Odds
4 Valvano
F: 5X33B(5)W(56.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Andrew Campbell )
Although still a maiden, does look to have good potential
After trialling well beforehand, it ran as favourite here 4 weeks ago and it certainly signalled it had the ability to be rising through the grades. Kate Hercock is in the saddle and it looks to be a strong favourite's chance from its inside draw
Main Danger
11 Felucca
F: 95X27B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Toni Davies )
( T-Peter and Trent Didham )
Best judged on its run two back, when resuming. Looked good in the Soft track conditions that day and gets them here again today

F: 3142B(9)W(60.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )

Terrific strike rate for this trainer/jockey partnership and they look certain to be in the money today, despite the wide draw
Consider
3 Leinster
F: 06X01B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Chris Dell )
( T-Sam Lennox )
Third up today. Local that put in a much improved run to win at New Plymouth last week and is on the quick back up
Longer Odds
9 Glimmer
F: 1X7B(8)W(57.0)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Rosie Gibbs )
Whanganui trained galloper that clearly has good ability. 7th here when resuming but was only 2 lengths off the winner

Main Danger
5 Dance For Her
F: X2920B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Samantha Collett )

This trainer/jockey partnership is always a big chance, and even more so when travelling to these CD meetings. Don't let its 10th placing last start put you off - it was only 2 lengths from the winner!

Longer Odds
8 Not So Unusual
Dividend : $3.50
Place
F: 5X1B(1)W(57.0)
( J-Madan Singh )
( T-Fraser Auret )
That was some effort to win over 2100m when fresh up. Improves and would be surprised if it went in again
Is starting to look the part and made it 3 wins from 9 starts last time, and that was out of gate 12
Main Danger

Dividend : $2.20, $1.40
Won
F: 10X51B(10)W(58.0)
( J-Craig Grylls )

7 Cocobill
F: 17501B(7)W(57.0)
( J-Rohan Mudhoo )

Dropped back to R65 and came back a winner. We expect the firmer Soft track had a say in that and might now be up to the step up to R75 again

6 One Bold Gigolo
F: 114X2B(4)W(57.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Robbie Patterson )
New Plymouth runner that the trainer has a lot of time for. Good when resuming when running Freddie Time to 1/2 length and meets that one better off in the weights today . And Craig Grylls now takes the reins
Main Danger
12 Champagne Linda
F: 3X306B(10)W(54.0)
( J-Chris Dell )

A little disappointed with its run last week, but it actually wasn't far away and is now on the quick back up

3 Exaggeration
F: 1211B(5)W(59.5)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
4yo from the Gray stables and certainly did well as a 3yo, all 4 runs being on the synthetic. Switches to the turf today so it will be interesting to see how it measures up on this surface

2 Doctor Askar
F: 111X0B(3)W(59.5)
( J-Liam Kauri )
( T-Joanne Moss )
What a revelation this 5yo was last campaign. Now a quality galloper and will be improved for its resuming run, which can be excused as it hasn't liked Heavy tracks in the past
Main Danger
6 Idyllic
F: 8655XB(4)W(54.0)
( J-Bruno Queiroz )
( T-Kevin & Stephen Gray )
On its past results, deserves to be favourite. Three times a winner when fresh up, it has a ton of pace and former champion jockey rides

F: 132X1B(8)W(54.5)
( J-Sima Mxothwa )

Impressive when winning its first run back 3 weeks ago, when it doesn't really like the Heavy. With that run under its belt, and the more suitable Soft track today, this well considered 6yo can go back to back
Main Danger

F: 3583XB(5)W(54.0)

Bruno rides for Lisa Latta here, and that doesn't happen too often. There's not too much depth in this field so could well run a place
